Description
• Reveals how an overburdened liver can lead to many common ailments such as headaches, constipation, respiratory issues, and skin conditions
• Explains specific foods to avoid, which supplements accelerate the liver’s cleansing abilities, and how to perform liver exercises and massage
• Details the 9 plants that are most effective in detoxifying the liver, with instructions for their safe use
• Includes charts and questionnaires to determine to what degree your liver function is compromised
The liver is key to the optimal health of the body. Shouldering the heaviest responsibility for keeping the body’s internal terrain clean, the liver not only filters toxins and cellular by-products out of the blood like other excretory organs, it also neutralizes poisons, microbes, heavy metals, and carcinogens. By supporting the liver, we support the health of the entire body.
In this practical guide to cleansing and detoxifying the liver, Christopher Vasey shows how many features of modern living--such as overeating, medications, cigarettes, alcohol, food additives, and environmental pollution--overtax this powerhouse of an organ. This leads to weakening of the liver and congestion with toxins, which in turn can lead to illness, including cardiovascular problems, allergies, headaches, constipation, respiratory issues, and skin conditions, as the toxins the overburdened liver cannot filter out find their way to other areas of the body.
Detailing how the liver functions, the author explains how to use diet, herbs, massage, and other practices to detoxify, strengthen, and regenerate your liver. He includes simple charts and questionnaires to help you determine to what degree your liver function is compromised. He shows how a simple change of diet along with the use of hepatic herbs will often have immediate benefits for the liver and the immune system. He explains specific foods to avoid and how taking supplements, such as trace elements of sulfur, accelerate the liver’s ability to neutralize heavy metals. He details 9 plants that are most effective in detoxifying the liver, such as dandelion and rosemary, and provides instructions for their safe use. He also describes liver exercises and massage techniques as well as the use of external aids, such as a hot-water bottle, to stimulate liver activity.
Offering an accessible yet detailed approach to supporting the liver, the author shows how bringing the liver back to full health and function has far-reaching effects for the whole body.

This has some really good information in it. There are times when it is a bit above the layman's head...very scientific...but the author uses that information to back up his recommendations. For the most part, it is written at a level that most adults should comprehend and be able to follow. The plan for detox is laid out simply, with realistic suggestions, and should be relatively easy to follow once you get into a groove.

As someone who suffers from liver function problems i was so pleased to be accepted to read this book.
I found this easy to read and understand, packed full of information.
In most of us, our livers are overworked and weakend. When toxins gather in our body they can make us poorly. Our livers eliminate toxins in our bile.
The first part of the book concentrates on the importance of detoxification of the liver, while the second part of the book gives the reader various easy to apply ways to detoxify.
This book also provides the reader with simple home remedies and treatments.
I am so grateful to the author, Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book, it has helped me understand all about such an important organ which has over 500 different functions.

This is by far one of the most informative, accessible and practical approaches to liver detoxication I have ever read. No need for expensive detox supplement kits here!

This book explains so much that I never knew about the liver and gall bladder! The detox instructions are clearly explained (both how and why). Although I am not sick, I hope to stay healthy by following some of the advice in this book!

I consider this book essential to good health. It is a invaluable guide to caring for our most overworked organ and ensuring its long term health. As someone who had two "non drinking" family members die of liver cancer, and having their oncologist tell me about liver health I was thrilled to receive this book for review. I went right out and bought a copy for my health library. My families oncologist told me that people die of liver cancer that never drink like my family, far to often. As one who is concerned with health I immediately read all I can about the liver.
The author has included essential liver information that any layperson can understand. He has even added quizzes for each reader to determine their knowledge and health of their liver. The bonus of the nutrition information and cleansing is all essential to liver health. This is a excellent guide to all involved with their health and those who need education on becoming more healthy. Our liver is essential to life and keeping it healthy will be easy to follow once you read this book. I highly recommend this book .
Thank you for the ARC that does not influence my personal review.
